Home Projects

I started a home project today, which means we'll be doing this for months. You know how it goes, you paint one room and the next one looks shabby. So you paint the next room, and on and on. You're off to the home improvement races.
We've been talking about rearranging the office for months. It's actally the third bedroom, about 10x10. We have a big corner desk and that's going to move 180 degrees, so when we're sitting at the desk we can look out the window.
Today I took everything out of the closet. Office supplies, books, books and more books. I also emptied the bookshelves that are attached to the wall. What an array of books we have! Crime mysteries, various and sundry paperbacks and medical books (Pat's) Civil War, early arctic exploration, real estate (me) and cookbooks (both of us).
Everything is still on and in the desk - computer, printer, my pile and Pat's pile. He has next week off, so we'll start again on Monday and take everything out, paint and shampoo the carpet. Then comes probably the worst of our task - figuring out what to keep and what to toss. I think the printer and possibly the phone and answering machine will go in the closet, as we had it years ago.
Yeah, this is a good chance to clean out a lot of stuff. I'm excited to have it done, but not necessarily the process.
